So this title popped up on gog today (5 bucks cheaper then steam with 0 drm) and I knew I just had to buy it after watching the trailer:

 

 

Has the same kind of classic adventure feel/style that The Whispered world gave me.

 

Looking at metacritic it has quite a few good reviews and gamespot even said it was one of the best adventures they played in a long time.

 

Anyone here play it? What's your opinion on it?

I've heard it's even better than TBoUT which I and a few others really liked. I'm going to wait a bit until the retail version drops into the $20-$25 range. I like collecting these LMG games.

We actually just popped this on sale today. The download version is $14.99 or you can get the box version with free download for only $22.49. And don't forget after the serial is entered no more nasty DRM. Enjoy.

I played the demo and thought it very good, the puzzles and the humor.  I laughed quite a bit at Rufus.  I am getting the box version from Interact.

 

@CB -- What is LMG?

Wasn't paying attention to the publisher, but I have the games JULIA and Book of Unwritten Tales.  Both to be played "Coming Soon...".

I ended up buying the game from GOG instead.  Haven't started playing it yet.

It looks really good and from what tiny bit of Deponia I've played and watched of Go To Hell Dave the outlook is good and quite hilarious. Looking forward to purchasing both.

I've heard other ppl talk about Deponia, saying it's a great game etc. I actually LOVED The Whispered World (one of the best adventure games ever) and Edna & Harvey, so I was really looking forward to Deponia. But it didn't impress me. I just couldn't get into it, and I disliked Rufus too (maybe he's better in the German version). I dropped it, but, I don't know, maybe I should give it another chance some time...

What little bit I got to try I had a lot of fun with, I should actually fully install it at home and play it through

I've played about a third of the game and I have to say based on my expectations I'm a little disappointed. It's not a bad game even though Deponia seems rather quaint and all. It does seem to have a reasonable plot along with an assortment of creative quest type puzzles. All along I had hoped to or rather expected to feel some empathy towards Rufus and his plight and that he is mostly just a victim of bad luck but his persistent cocky attitude somehow just doesn't seem to work.

:\

 

Aya is probably right in that perhaps he has a more appealing persona in the German version.
